also note the silicone wire is superior to the PVC style of the kinds that you normally buy- its not brittle and lasts forever, and besides a solderless stackable plug means you can always make new ones!?

Either that or Buchla/Serge/Wiard. The OP would find a number of previous discussions on this topic if he does a search over there.

My mistake. sorry.
The cables reported in this thread as low quality were not the Pomona's, but the "truConnect" cables sold by Rapid.

With years of forum participation under my belt, you'd think by now I'd have learned to keep my mouth shut about stuff I know nothing about.

wow, sorry guys, guess i'm an idiot...

i make my own cables, but couldnt seem to locate exactly what it is that you banana mod users, use, in terms of the raw parts.

thanks for the tips, i'll stop bitching about the price of the cables. Should have known better since Buchlas uses them... br> br>

br>Ha, I took the advice of Steve of Modularland and built some myself the other day. bought no-name stackable solderless plugs and some simple 18 AWG single-conductor wire. You just strip the wire, open a connector (they have little plastic hatches), slide the wire into the hole in the side of the contact stem and screw it down with an eyeglass screwdriver (actually std, not philips, but i dunno what to call those). Couldn't be easier, roughly $50 USD for 300 1-foot cables (though prices for such things are pretty cheap, so close to mainland China). Maybe at some point I'll be moved to buy better quality stuff, but for now it doesn't really sound deficient -- wasp filter nearly made everyone deaf yesterday with its screeching, detailed, saturated raucousness. br> br>
